Key Facts

This section provides the official specifications and pricing details for the Jetour T2 i-DM as announced at the Malaysian launch event.

How Much Does the Jetour T2 i-DM Cost in Malaysia?

The Jetour T2 i-DM is priced at RM162,800 nett in Malaysia, positioning it between the petrol T2 at RM156,800 and the T2 Dark Warrior Limited Edition at RM167,900. This price point targets the mid-range PHEV SUV market in Malaysia, competing with models offering similar hybrid technology.

The RM162,800 pricing for the Jetour T2 i-DM places it at a RM6,000 premium over the standard petrol T2 and RM5,100 below the limited-edition Dark Warrior variant.

What is the Powertrain and Performance of the Jetour T2 i-DM?

The T2 i-DM uses a series-hybrid system combining a 1.5-litre turbocharged engine (136 PS, 220 Nm) with two electric motors (224 PS, 390 Nm) and a three-speed DHT, producing a combined 360 PS and 610 Nm. This is significantly more powerful than the petrol T2's 245 PS and 375 Nm outputs.

The hybrid system delivers 360 PS and 610 Nm, representing a substantial 115 PS and 235 Nm increase over the petrol-powered Jetour T2.

Unlike the petrol T2, the i-DM is front-wheel drive only and lacks the "XWD intelligent drive system," offering four drive modes (Normal, Economy, Sport, Snow) alongside EV and HEV power modes.

What is the Battery Range and Charging Capability?

The Jetour T2 i-DM is equipped with an 18.4 kWh BYD Blade battery, providing a claimed electric-only range of over 100 km and a total combined range of 1,200 km with a 70-litre fuel tank. The system maintains charge levels above 20% to preserve battery health.

According to Jetour, the T2 i-DM offers over 100 km of pure electric driving and a combined range of 1,200 km, supported by DC fast charging capability of up to 57 kW.

For charging, the vehicle supports DC at up to 57 kW (30-80% in 27 minutes) and AC at 6.6 kW (30-100% in under 3 hours). A portable 2.2 kW charger requires under six hours for a 30-100% charge. The vehicle also supports up to 3.3 kW vehicle-to-load (V2L) capability.

"Response to the T2 series models from Malaysian buyers has been more than positive, to say the least. The Dark Warrior sold out almost immediately, and interest in the T2 i-DM has been equally strong, with 2,137 bookings collected for it as of two days ago."

What Interior and Safety Features Are Included?

The interior features a 10.25-inch digital instrument display, a 15.6-inch central touchscreen with Qualcomm SA8155P chipset, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a 12-speaker Sony audio system. New PHEV-specific additions include an illuminated crystal gear knob and auto-dimming rear-view mirror.

The T2 i-DM comes standard with a full Level 2 ADAS package, six airbags, and TPMS, building on its five-star ASEAN NCAP safety rating.

Standard equipment includes dual-zone auto air conditioning, a 50-watt wireless charger, a 360-degree camera system with transparent view, faux leather upholstery, and power-adjustable front seats. The exterior features 20-inch Trailblazer alloy wheels with 255/55 profile tyres.

Who Is This For in Malaysia?

The Jetour T2 i-DM is suited for Malaysian families and urban professionals seeking a boxy, LR-inspired SUV with hybrid efficiency. It addresses the need for a PHEV that can handle daily commuting in EV mode for over 100 km while providing 1,200 km total range for interstate travel between KL and destinations like Penang or Johor Bahru.

This PHEV is designed for Malaysian buyers who want an SUV with the styling of a rugged off-roader but seek the running cost benefits of a plug-in hybrid suitable for city commuting.

With LFP battery chemistry and the system maintaining charge above 20%, it is optimised for tropical climates, while the V2L capability supports outdoor activities common in Malaysia. The early bird package with ChargeSini credit enhances the value proposition for owners without home charging facilities.
